They feel that they are aout a work to which God called them, and in which He has a great stake, andl for which they may count ipon His co-operation, = Their faith is itself a petition. They offer up their lives as a flaming act of wor- ship and supplication, as the TRus- sians offer up candles. "Yes, but so also do the Germans pray." comments one, True: but it 1s only the prayers of those whose purposes square with the clear will of God that may expect an answer. In a vivid, though rather gruesome sketch, a French writer, Julien Fla- ment. sets this forth (as summarized in "God and the Soldier"). He de- picts the German Emperor, clad in his grey cloak, "flecked with blood," bowing 'his helmet before the Crib. He addresses the Divine Child; "Thou art on eur side, O Lord: I am Thy lieutenant," . ." | Thou wilt share my triumph, Lord God of the German armies, bless Thou the German Emperor." The Christ-Child, silent, seems only to grow pale. The . Kaiser prays gain. He promises to place the ruins of the world: "Thy Cross and my flag." Still the Child is silent, and the Kaiser with trembling voice, asks "Have I not done and suffered enough for Thee? - Millions of my soldiers lie dead; the ravens are weary. of their feast." At last the sorrowfully A It is pleasant.

The granting of such prayer would mean that God's will would never be done, For. such prayer there is within the eternal glory no voice nor any that answers. The very soul of prayer is: 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The Winning Sword. That same volume, "God and the Soldier," has marfy true words that are pertinent to this Sunday school lesson: ""Prayer is the very sword of the saints," said Francis Thomson, © The age of the Church's victories has ever seen its swift flash from out the scab- bard. . If in the last days the words of prayer had become almost congeal- ed on' the lips of multitudes, there has now come upon us a new day when prayer has again become a real ity.. Men and women who had ceased to pray for themselves have driven to the feet of God in an of supplication praying for their loved ones, They cannot help it 'We have in these days of scientific -en- lighteniment a great deal of discussion about the efficacy of prayer," wrote William James, "and many 'reasons have been given us why we should not pray, whilst others are given why we should. But in all this very lit- tle is said of the reasops why we do pray. : The réason why we pray. is simply that we cannot help praying.' "We hive, in very truth, come to the day when we cannot help praying. In the moment of extremity the ap- peal to God, conscious or unconscious, springs from the heart. 'They arg at their wits' end, the they cry to Jehovah,' is the Rony of ' the Psalmist. And ever the funk-prayer is heard, for he . addds: 'And He bringeth them out of their dictfesses.® What the cloudless day cannot do, the hurricane effects. 'I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming . conviction that 1 had nowhere else to go.' wrote Abra- ham Lincoln. 'My own wisdom and that of all' around me seemed insuffi- cient for the day 'And so it is now. The statesman in his cabinet and the soldier in the trench are at one in the day when all earthly refuge fails and od alone remains. © 'I had not pray- ed for years, but 1 prayed then,' is the testimony of many a man. . . , ¢ SS ------ ~ The Great Reason for Prayer. "There is in the world something greater than law, and that is person- ality. We ourselves know how the human personality can mould and shape unchangeable law and make it do his will. If gravitation decrees that water shall run downward, men ean decree that it flow u level of its source, Ife ectricity can rend the heavens and spread disaster and death in the destroying lightning, man can take its Taws and so combine them that it deives his machinery, makes hig cities bright almost as day, and send his messages" round the earth.

Sry We make our appeal to Omnis- cience, He made us all, and fe made each different and He will never repeat a single personality. Each is therefore of inestimable value to Him, And the cry of each He will hear. He sees us not in masses but as individ- uals. That is why He never makes two out of the same mould . "Even the material world is sensi- tive to the feeblest force brought to play upon it. When the ball a child throws into the air descends to earth there is a two-fold movement-the movement of the ball downward and the movement of the earth upward to meet it: It is only the lack of sensi- tiveness in our instruments that pre- vents our measuring the earth's as- cent to meet the ball. And St is only been | because we lack imagination that we have difficulty in realizing that in the spiritual realm, wlere personality alone is great, God must respond fo every approach of .
